As everyone knows, it is the WSOP 2010 in Las Vegas. On the 13th of July, the atmosphere was quite electric. Indeed, 7319 players were present and only 747 could expect a reward from this tournament. On the 13th of July, before the dinner,there was just 751 players left. 4 players need to be eliminated to be one of the paid places of the tournament. The atmosphere is very stressful and the organisation at this moment decides to send everyone to a dinner break despite the discontent of the players.

One hour later, everyone was back for to expecting to be in the first 747 players of the tournament. The strategy was a little the same for everyone, fold until someone is eliminated on another table. The organisation decided to play every game at the same time on every table; better to get a fair game.

Two Players are eliminated quickly after the dinner break, and then something interesting happens. One of the 749 players left received pocket ACES. Awesome! So he decided to go all in. Against him, a guy called with pocket Jacks. The probability to win with a pocket of ACES is 20% and of course on the flop the first card was a jack. Unlucky, but this face to face eliminated another player and at this time, just 1 player needed to be eliminated to be in the 747 paid places. Everyone was just so stressed and everyone was hoping that someone else will go all in before them.

The last played who decided to go online was called Tim McDonald. In his hands a pocket of Queens. He raised. But unfortunately, someone raised on his bet and raised him to "All in". Tim was confident and decided to go all in. The opponent got an Ace and a 2. It is quite tight; Both of them had a good game.

The dealer returned the flop and as you can guess: an ACE-ACE- 2 was on the flop. Tim didn’t want to see the next cards because the only chance to win was to get 2 queens. So he shaked hands of his opponent and said bye to the paid places.

But his dream wasn’t over. After losing with this fantastic pocket Queens, the director of the Poker tournament asked him to follow him on the tradeshow of the casino. He received a nice cheque of $ 10000 for the next WSOP 2011. And, at this moment, the audience was just completely crazy. They were applauding the unlucky player to congratulate him but also they were congratulating each other to be in the last 747 paid places. What an amazing day!

After this, the atmosphere of the tournament was so much relaxed and, people could play their best poker. Strategies and bluff are definitely the keywords of the games. Watch with us the next days of the WSOP tournament and be careful with 2 ladies.
